Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

"Zhu Bufan, today, you must die!"

The bald brute's face twisted viciously, and after a bellow, his entire form instantly transformed into a streak of light, blasting towards Zhu Bufan! He raised his long saber, and the phantom of a huge earth-yellow blade surged again!

"I'm afraid you won't come!" Zhu Bufan snorted coldly, facing the bald man with absolute confidence in victory, even in killing him. However, he still focused most of his attention on Zhu Yuheng, who had not made any moves all along, thus he did not use all his power. The strength he displayed now was at most only ninety percent.

Even so, after the amplification of the Surging Wave Palm, he was able to completely suppress the bald man.

Once again knocked away by Zhu Bufan, the bald man finally realized a problem. Every attack from Zhu Bufan was powerful, but there was an evident lack of mastery between techniques, and obvious sluggishness in his moves.

"This kid has not mastered complete martial arts skills! Nor does he have much combat experience!"

That was the conclusion the bald man reached.

It must be said that the bald man's insight was sharp. In all of Zhu Bufan's past battles, he relied entirely on his own reactions, speed, and strength, ignoring the most fundamental aspect for a postnatal martial artist, which was technique.

Realizing this, the bald man suddenly changed his attacking style. The long saber no longer struck with full force each time, instead, he kept back a third of his strength to rotate.

"Wind Reincarnation!"

The bald man roared lowly, the glow of the long saber slightly dimmed, displaying streaks of bright light, transforming into dozens of saber shadows, enveloping Zhu Bufan.

Among these dozens of saber lights, of course, only one truly had offensive power, the rest were purely to confuse.

Facing the overwhelming saber shadows, Zhu Bufan's face changed. This was the first time he faced such a scene; it threw his thoughts into disarray, and for a while, he hadn't the slightest idea of what to do.

Thus, he dared not hesitate, tapping his feet and retreating rapidly.

However, the bald man was extremely cunning. After seeing Zhu Bufan's lack of combat experience, he immediately guessed Zhu Bufan's method of dealing with this maneuver and almost simultaneously, he pressed forward.

Seeing this, Zhu Bufan had no choice but to completely concentrate, sensing the changes in the air's energy.

"Swoosh!"

The bald man's gaze flashed, all the saber shadows converged, transforming into a simple and unadorned back of the saber, nearly grazing Zhu Bufan's arm, viciously chopping down.

Whoosh...

Zhu Bufan fiercely took a deep breath, the Floating Snow Step Technique was promptly executed, in the nick of time, he sidestepped half a step to the side, avoiding a tragic fate of having his entire arm severed, however, it still resulted in a deep gash, a series of Blood Pearls instantly formed at the wound.

Seeing this, the bald brute appeared very excited, chuckling chillingly as he eyed the string of blood coagulating on the blade, his eyes alight with fiery passion.

"Such fragrant fresh blood! Truly enticing!"

Under Zhu Bufan's stern gaze, the bald brute extended his sinister red tongue, licking the blade's bloodstain several times, coldly sneering at Zhu Bufan, his blood-red lips and teeth stained with fresh blood, unspeakably terrifying and ominous.

Watching the bald brute's actions, Zhu Bufan's eyes flickered, and with a thought, he silently activated the healing skills within the Hanhai Tide Skill. Zhu Bufan felt a faint coolness at the wound, completely shielding the pain in his arm, and soon, the deep wound stopped bleeding.

"Hmph!" The bald brute snorted coldly and, after a sneer, lunged forward again, his saber techniques becoming elusive and traceless.

Yellow saber shadows flickered unpredictably in the void, sometimes as insubstantial as clouds and fog, soft as whips, and firm as metal...

Seeing this, Zhu Bufan was secretly alarmed. He had not expected that the bald brute's understanding of the Earth Attribute had reached such a level, capable of being both soft and hard, shifting at will.

Even after his sudden enlightenment, Zhu Bufan had merely scratched the surface of the Water Element's true essence, especially after grasping the Water's Good Flexibility and improving the Floating Snow Step Technique. However, he had not yet grasped the way of softness and hardness of the Water Element. Therefore, the Cold Ice Internal Energy only hinted at 'flexibility', making it extremely difficult to fully manifest its powerful potential within the circulation of Internal Energy.

Glancing at Zhu Yuheng, who watched eagerly from the side, her formidable Tenth Rank power posed a substantial threat to Zhu Bufan. Initially, only revealing the strength of the ninth layer, he was forced to gradually unveil more.

The Floating Snow Step Technique was finally fully demonstrated under the imposing threat of the bald brute and his storm-like onslaught.

"What strange, what elegant movement technique!"

Seeing Zhu Bufan remain so composed and graceful under such a fierce attack from the bald brute, not only Zhu Yuheng, who watched intently, but even the bald brute, brimming with Killing Intent, felt a strong covetousness.

The bald brute's gaze turned icy, and with the long saber in his hand, bright yellow light burst forth, stirring the entire space which shrieked and hummed. Streaks of tearing light, incredibly powerful and fast, seemed to distort the very space at the edges of the blade due to such intense force. Although the Floating Snow Step Technique, relying on the flow of qi, dodged all attacks, the terrifying tearing force encapsulated in these attacks truly affected Zhu Bufan physically.

This tearing force, far sharper than half of the blades and edges, was something even Zhu Bufan's body, tempered by the Hanhai Tide Skill, could not resist. As the yellow light passed, it left him with various degrees of wounds, whether light or severe.

Because of this, Zhu Bufan was secretly enraged.

For over a decade, Zhu Bufan had been forced to suppress his true nature, but with the cultivation talent he obtained, especially under the influence of the Hanhai Tide Skill, his inherently resilient and unyielding nature was extremely pressured and slowly releasing.

Although the Hanhai Tide Skill was rapidly healing the wounds, the severe pain was indeed real.

This time, not waiting for the bald brute to take the initiative, a deep blue color flashed in Zhu Bufan's eyes, and he immediately stepped forward with the Floating Snow Step Technique, his palms glowing with a flickering blue halo.

Seeing his own move had an effect but caused very limited damage to Zhu Bufan, the bald brute noticed that the injuries were merely superficial without affecting the muscles or bones. Moreover, with his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that the wounds on Zhu Bufan's body were healing rapidly under some mysterious power. In the blink of an eye, they had already healed and scabbed over, leaving only traces of blood on his robe.

"What is this boy hiding? These saber wounds have healed in the blink of an eye. At such a young age, not only has his cultivation reached the Eighth Rank, but his movement technique is also so exquisite. It's truly unimaginable! What kind of freak are we dealing with as tasked by the young lady?"
